Match Prediction & Tips
Match Prediction: Rajasthan Royals to win at 11/8*
The price on the Mumbai Indians is far too short for us. It is like they are pricing them on last years form. They have been so poor this year and as we have mentioned they are lucky to have 2 wins from 5! We are happy to take the Royals at these odds.
- Pick 1: Buttler over 2.5 fours 5/6*
Buttler has 13 fours in 5 matches so far. This is the best value pick of the fours betting markets.
